Advice noted, but I'm a horrible negotiator.

Somehow ended up paying nearly 2k over listing price when I bought the wife's Civic.

Still better than the 5k over listing I paid when I bought her a Subaru...

I think I need to take my salseman brother in law along when I'm ready to buy.

face time me...dumped the flipfone, remember! salesmen tend to like a good story.
but ya gotta promise to look right at me, don't blink, don't nod your head, don't make a sound...the same way I buy cars for The Lovely Caren.

One time as I was going through the procedure, the sales person turns to her and says "what do you think?". She says "I love that car".

I stood up and said "let's go". Sales person couldn't believe it.

First, I got her a new alignment (no violence), and then a month later bought the same car for even less from the same place.

My favorite moment was when he called two weeks after we walked out to tell me he had great news if I was still interested, his manager authorized a price drop to some stupid amount.

I said "fantastic! that puts you in last place!" and hung up.

two weeks later ended up paying $50 over invoice for a 2005 Infinity G 30 or 35x (whatever it was)...about 2,500 less than their day one "best price" discounted from the fake msrp.

it was red. she had to have red.

Am likely long overdue for a cardiac procedure. Maybe I can get you to talk with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, cardiac rehab and insurance people for me.

Happy Friday, everyone.

Weekend storm is going south, so it looks like I'll be outside working and smoking for about a week of decent weather.

Woke up far too early... but that's not unusual since I am going fishing. Try for some trout today.

I was recently trying to buy a new Jetta GLI, but the salesman was jerking me around. I left. A few days later he asked if I was still interested and I just texted him a picture of my Mercedes C300.

Boy on the bus, wife outta town.

Beer and video games it is.

Already did dishes, a load of laundry, and vacuumed the house. Took out the trash and fed all the animals.

Don't know what else I need to do. Lazy day today.

Friday. Got a couple of loaves of sourdough mixed up. Going to let them work, and retard in the chiller overnight to bake tomorrow. getting ready to make my breakfast, some Turkish Poached Eggs in Yogurt (Cilbir) with some sourdough toast to mop it up. Man that stuff is amazing. Sun's out, going to work a cigar in here somewhere this morning. 👍

Mofos had a backhoe removing weeds and reeds in a small lake the last couple days.

Water was muddy as fudge... and nobody got a single bite. So, I grabbed a salmon filet on the way home. 😁

I hate towing companies. Such a racket.

Parked at the shuttered business next door to a brewery, as is usual cause the brewery has 6 parking spots and limited street parking. I wasn't the only one parked there. Probably one of 6.

Spent an hour there with a buddy on his lunch break. Came out and truck is gone. The other cars are there. So, I assume it was stolen. Initially I was thinking yay insurance payout and buy that new diesel truck. But then thinking chit, I think I have a Beretta 92 in the toolbox and I'm in Illinois... this could be an issue. But then someone came out of the building and said it got towed, not sposeda park there, and pointed at the sign.

Called the number on the sign, they confirmed they had the truck. Sign said $218.50 to release. **** me... took a picture of the sign to retain address and phone number and downloaded the uber app to my phone. Got a 25 minute ride to Riverdale IL for $18 and the place is double fenced but I can see my truck. Call the place again to tell them I'm there. They say there's nobody at the office right now, gotta wait.

Half hour and 3 phone calls later someone comes out. Says they'll release the truck for $600. WTF?! Said GVWR over 8k goes to 600 and 12k is 1200! I said you azzwholes used the same damn truck and equipment to steal my truck as you would for a ford escort that's silly to charge triple. But I spose that explains why they took my truck over the other cars parked there.

So yeah, I had a $700 lunch consisting of two beers and a small bowl of pretzels with some mustard and it took 5 hours of my day.

Afternoon fella's

Dan my dad bought a 2019 duramax with the 6.6 and its loaded. It is a very nice truck and it seems to have plenty of power. I don't think you will be disappointed with it.
